General Discussion / Re: Fellow Ex-Gunners Of Icarus Lend Me Your Ears!

Well all this is coming from a guy who doesn't think gunners are useless or need buffing. I've been running one gunner for, well ever, and I value a good gunner over another engineer.

The advantage I find is that a gunner has generally more experience than an equivalent engineer with leading targets, projectile trajectory, and ammo types.  It's an advantage purely in an individual identifying themselves as a dedicated gunner. From a purely mechanics side I think the argument has already been closed.

I think that can be very true. Last night I played a match with a Lumberjack on Squash's crew and I realized I was really quite terrible at the arcing of my shots.

A high leveled gunner will have gottenmost of his achievements via doing his job, gunning. As an engineer gets their achievements repairing most of the time. So yes, that is a very good point.
